    Private full-day trip from Amman to Petra in a modern sedan (1–4 persons) or H1 van (5–7 persons). Pickup from your hotel at 06:30 (or another time of your choice) to avoid traffic and enjoy more daylight at the site. Spend 5–6 hours exploring Petra’s wonders before returning comfortably to Amman in the afternoon.

    What to expect

    A long, memorable day on your feet in a spectacular desert setting.

There is an optional climb of around 800 steps to the Monastery (Ad Deir) for a panoramic reward. The ground is sand and rock, so sturdy closed-toe shoes, a hat and water are essential. Start times are adjusted seasonally to avoid the midday heat, and the pace is always yours to set.
